Champagne Lancelot Pienne "Accord Majeur" Brut

Let's start with the blend. We are in the heart of Champagne and the one proposed here is a wine made from the processing of the three grape varieties typical of the region, Meunier for 70%, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay dividing the remaining 30% in equal parts. Champagne, after all, is one of the most classic offerings of the Maison Lancelot-Pienne. The Cuvée Accord Majeur Brut. Vines over 50 years old, cultivated in the hilly area south of Épernay. A harmonious and balanced Champagne, its base cuvée is made from approximately 80% vintage wine and 20% reserve wines. The latter comprise around 15 different vintages, stored in the cellar using the 'perpetual method', i.e. new wine is added to the same container every harvest. This ancient technique ensures continuity in the style of the house, regardless of the characteristics of the individual vintage. Fermentation of the bases in steel and sparkling in the bottle, with a stay on the lees of about 5 years. A long wait that pays off from the very first sip. In the glass, in fact, this Champagne has a beautiful pale yellow colour, with a fine and continuous perlage. The nose is pleasantly intense and expressive, with floral notes and distinct aromas of ripe fruit. Then hints of bread crust and pastry. On the palate it is soft and creamy, but at the same time fresh, savoury and mineral. Perfect as an aperitif, this Champagne is also ideal on the everyday table, from starters to main courses of fish. Impossible to be disappointed.
